What is Chi Kung???

Chi Kung is the skilful practice of gathering, circulating, and harmonising one’s life-force energy.
Chi Kung is about feeling the moment as it is, and the power of tuning into your body awareness. By slowing down movement and mind, you will start to perceive subtle meridian flows, and deep reservoirs of energy in the body.
There is a natural self-balancing that happens without thought or action, when you are moved from a place of stillness into the motion of your life force. This happens when you allow yourself to be unfettered by a busy mind, and come back into awareness of the entirety of the moment as it is.

Taking the time meet yourself in this way, reconnects you to the abundance of being in tune with, and part of, nature.

What is This Workshop About???

This workshop is focused on exploring Chi Kung moves and meditations that harmonise the flow of all 12 meridian pathways in the body.
This is offered in a fun way 🙂 As we explore simple Chi Kung forms and walks including Elemental Animal forms that support the meridian flows.

What Are Meridians???

Put simply, Meridians are energy pathways that run throughout the body, and are deeply entwined with the expression of healthy flow (or lack) of energy in the areas of the body they pass through, and the organs they are named after.
The harmonious balancing of these energy pathways in the body leads to a much greater overall vitality, presence, and clarity.

What Will We Be Doing Each Day???

Each day will involve easy to learn Chi Kung forms that balance the Yin and Yang meridians of each of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 5 Elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal.

See a summary of each Elements characteristics further down this page.

Each Element has at least 2 meridians associated with it.

For example the TCM Water Element’s meridians are the Kidney Meridian (yin), and Bladder Meridian (yang).

These relate to the health of the same named organs, but also all the body parts they pass through, and the TCM associated Elemental qualities.

So through Chi Kung practice we can mindfully support the flow in these individual meridian pathways.

We then take the next step of supporting the balance of Yin and Yang in the body, by practicing Chi Kung moves that harmonise the Elemental meridians in paired Yin & Yang forms. This increases the equilibrium of Chi flow in the body.
This will ALL be discussed in class! 🙂

Over the 4 day workshop, we are gradually introduced to all of the paired Elemental meridians via Chi Kung forms, walks, meditations, and also having the opportunity to follow the flow of the meridians on each other.

Then, as we build up our felt sense and clarity of each of the TCM Elemental meridians, we will start building practice sequences of all the 5 Element Meridians together, to deepen the alchemy of change towards health in our body.

Working with all the 5 Elements together creates very powerful positive shifts in the body. This is naturally happens through a deeper relationship to the potency of nature, which is as much elementally within us, as it is around us.

What Are the 5 Elements ???

The 5 Elements are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal:

The Water Element is associated with pelvic energy: ‘Jing’. The Chi Kung moves help free up and nourish energy in this region, supporting strength, and health in the lower back and abdomen. Water Element work is very good for improving adrenal energy.

The Wood Element has the qualities of the Tree in nature, so when the Element is balanced in ourselves, we are able to grow, rejuvenate, and heal more quickly, and with more vigour! This Element supports the liver and therefore some of the many benefits will be the increased health of our eyes, ligaments, tendons, muscles and joints. Mentally and emotionally we will have more patience, and find good humour, ease & flexibility in ourselves.

The Fire Element is associated with feelings of joy, laughter and enthusiasm. Regular practice of the Fire Element Chi Kung forms will support easier breathing and better circulation. As the Fire Element opens up the Middle Dantian (the heart), an inner warmth arises from the practice.

When the Earth Element within us is healthy, we support all the body systems, through our increased ability to digest and absorb foods and nutrients. The overall effect of this Earth alchemy is an elevated state of clarity & stillness in both mind and body. When our Earth Element is balanced, we feel calm and mellow.

The Metal Element Chi Kung moves strengthen and support our Wei Chi (auric field). When our Wei Chi is strong, our body and mind feel clear and able, and much less vulnerable to external toxins, and negative energy that can lead to dis-ease.

The standing and walking Chi Kung forms in this workshop are designed to support deep stillness, and are very powerful in promoting health in the mind and body.

We will be exploring how to access deeper health through Chi Kung forms, walks, and meditations that balance our Meridians, Dantians, and our Elemental relationships to nature.
